\"AA young Texas Rangers pitcher’s historic no-hit start has fans buzzing with excitement for the team’s future.Arlington Today<\/p>\n

Texas Rangers pitcher Jacob Latz has set a franchise record by starting the 2026 season with a no-hit streak spanning his first five appearances. The 24-year-old right-hander has yet to give up a hit over the course of 9 innings pitched so far this year, a remarkable feat for the young hurler.<\/p>\n

Why it matters<\/p>\n

Latz’s historic start is a bright spot for the Rangers, who are looking to bounce back after a disappointing 2025 season. The no-hit streak has captured the attention of baseball fans across the league and could be a sign that Latz is poised for a breakout year.<\/p>\n

The details<\/p>\n

Through his first five outings, Latz has struck out 12 batters and walked 5. He’s relied on a mid-90s fastball and a sharp slider to keep opposing hitters off balance. Latz’s command has been impressive, as he’s yet to surrender an earned run this season.<\/p>\n

Latz’s no-hit streak began on Opening Day, April 1, 2026.He has maintained the no-hit bid through his first five starts of the 2026 season.<\/p>\n
